The protest targetting the CM Basavaraj Bommai-led Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) government in the state for corruption and other scams will be held in the presence of top party leaders.
Addressing a press conference at KPCC Office on Sunday, Congress MLA NA Harris said that senior party leaders including former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, State Congress president DK Shivakumar and Congress MLAs would hold the protest at Trinity Circle on January 23.
“The state government is not ready to respond to the corruption charges. We have now decided to launch a protest and fight against it. Tomorrow our protest will be held at more than 300 locations in Bengaluru,” MLA NA Harris was quoted telling ANI.
As per reports, party workers and leaders will protest at 300 places including 200 traffic signals, 51 metro stations, 26 flyovers, and other important places today.
